This cola-flavored candy could have more fizz than you’re expecting.

Haribo is investigating how one of its popular gummy products apparently became tainted with cannabis in the after several people reportedly fell ill in the Netherlands.

Haribo has issued a nationwide recall in the EU country as a result.

Customers who were enjoying the Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies, including multiple members of a single family, said they felt “dizziness” after eating the sweets, according to the

Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).

“Samples were taken and cannabis was found in them,” the agency told Dutch outlet Hart van Nederland.

“Do not eat the sweets,” the NVWA warned.

So far, only a single batch of candy in the Netherlands is suspected of contamination — not supplies in the US or elsewhere, the company said.

Haribo said it was working with police to investigate the contamination, with the NVWA finding at least three packs tained with weed. 

Haribo said it was recalling its entire stock in the Netherlands as a precaution, removing all bags with a best-before date of January 2026 from the shelves. 

The company will also be issuing full refunds for all the packs returned. 

“The safety of our consumers is our highest priority and Haribo takes this incident very seriously, which is why a recall has been issued in the Netherlands,” the company said in a

statement. 

It remains unclear how many people became sick due to the contaminated batch, with officials noting that no breach occurred with any of Haribo’s other candies.
